Ignatius Ephrem Joseph III Younan, Patriarch of the Syrian Catholic Church, appeared on Fox and Friends this morning, accompanied by Fr. Jonathan Morris. The patriarch, after detailing the horrors he witnessed, made a poignant comment. He said we must pray that Jesus will wake up in the boat. This is a very Eastern approach of relating events in the life of Christ to our prayer life. Please join your prayers with those of the persecuted.

Only delaying the inevitable. Blood lust will not accept someone that has renounced. After they run out of those that won’t they will thirst for others even if they met the conditions.

Does the Pope mention who is persecuting these Christians?

Praying that they may regain their faith and health and then flee.

If they renounced their faith, then they were never truly Christians to begin with. For believers, it is an honor to die for our Lord.

Seems to be coming right down to the wire.

Mathew 10
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

I wonder what I would do.

Just about the same as the way Hitler treated Jews.

The label on the houses, versus the yellow star on the clothing. The taking of property.
